Biography
Carlo Ghiglieno was born in Turin, Piedmont, Italy in 1928, and he worked for Olivetti for 15 years, holding several management positions. In 1974, he became Fiat Auto's head of strategic planning. In 1979, during the "Years of Lead", the far-left Prima Linea militant group decided to begin a campaign targeting corporate leaders, and Ghiglieno, who refused to be assigned a bodyguard, was shot dead on the Via Petrarca in Turin as he headed to work. Prima Linea stated that his killing was in honor of slain militants Matteo Caggegi and Barbara Azzaroni, who had been murdered by the police earlier that year.
